You can write to any Writer or Appendable per the README. So that means you can wrap a Writer around a file stream, or render to a StringBuilder and then write that string to a file.

so I would have to somehow write it to a file to process it, and then somehow link to that file in the code? Sounds like I would need a compiler plugin.

I'm using ktor btw.

What i'm trying to do is process the HTML to generate CSS classes for me.

What are trying to do? Thought you wanted to generate a static site but it sounds like something else now

Oh. Interesting. What's the end goal with that?

[Conor Gould]

Add Tailwind CSS support.

[Conor Gould]

As an additional dependency, of course.

[Conor Gould]

Any ideas? I've been stuck for days 😂

I could potentially bundle a "custom" html dsl...

You don't need to write it to a file. What format do you want it to be in order to process it?
